International Relations

Ruthie is busy entertaining an American guest who is staying in her home all this week. This brave and hardy traveller has never previously been out of the US. (I’m sure the world would suffer far less bloodshed if Americans got out more.) Never before has Marmite, Branston Pickle and egg custard tarts generated so much fascination. If only Ruthie’s English friends were so easily entertained.

But Ruthie has a question for any American readers. Why is it that in the land of the free everyone dresses identically in khaki pants, T shirts and white sneakers and socks?

I see: a hint you want khaki pants as a pressie? OK - I’ll cancel the Rolls order
